This just in... Alexei Ramirez walked

Chicago White Sox' fill-in second baseman Alexei Ramirez walked in tonight's game against the Royals. It's just his third walk in 103 at bats. To call Ramirez a free swinger would be like calling Juan Uribe a candidate to lose his job. Uribe is just that, because Ramirez is starting to light it up in his first MLB season. The Cuban has three hits in each of his last two games, going 9-15 in his last four.

Update: Ramirez walked in his next plate appearance, giving him four walks in 104 at bats.

Fantasy Impact: He's not the Sox' starter at second yet, but it will be hard to take the job away now that Ramirez is finding all sorts of ways to reach base. He's a streaky player, and on a hot streak for now.
